≥The front and surround speakers are the same. Use those you have connected the short cords to as front speakers and those you have
connected the long cords to as surround speakers.
≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are
approximate.
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will
be negatively affected.
≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from
falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from
falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.
Positioning for best effect
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound
field. Note the following points.
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result
in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtain.
Caution
Hold the speakers by the sides.
Applying pressure to the front net
can damage the speaker.
Main unit
Note
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
13
/32q) away from the system
for proper ventilation.
Center speaker
≥You can also put this speaker directly under the television.
≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it
is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a
rack or shelf.
Subwoofer
Place to the right of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so
that it won’t cause vibration.
Leave 10 cm (4q) on the right for the woofer to be effective. Leave
10 cm (4q) at the rear for ventilation.

∫ Connecting a television with a VIDEO IN terminal
Connect directly to your television.
Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder,
because the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy
guard.
∫ Connecting a television with COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive
output and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT
terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color
difference signals (P
B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in
order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
≥The description of the component video input terminals depends
on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P

–When the speakers are receiving howling from a record player,
noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an
oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
–When adjusting the sound quality.
–When turning the unit on or off.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but
the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup
combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem.
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
